DVD drives called cd drives + more

swaffml · 01-07-2009, 08:00 AM

I have two DVD RW drives (E and F) when I go to Windows Explorer they are shown as CD drives. Also when I put a disk in I no longer get the dialog box asking me what I want to do. The drive seem to work most of the time, however sometimes when I burn a disk the system seems to hang when closing the session. If I just close out the program the disk seems to be ok but then I can not open the drive bay until I reboot. Before when I put a movie or audio disk in it would as if I wanted to use (a list of programs) to open or play the disk that no longer happens I have checked the autoplay on both drives and it seems to be unchanged. The drives will play if I open media player or Real player and go to play, but sometimes when they are over, the drives will not eject and I have to reboot.

Something I just noticed, in my computer the E drive shows that it has a 4.11 total size but the drive is empty.
